Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for selectable memory system erase function are described. A user of a multitenancy memory system may request to vacate the memory system. A multitenancy controller may transmit an indication to erase data from a memory region associated with the user to a controller of the memory system. The controller may set bits of a mode register corresponding to the memory region to an erase value and other bits of the mode register corresponding to other memory regions to a normal value. The data may be erased from the memory region during the refresh cycle, while data from the other memory regions may be normally refreshed, according to the value of the bits in the mode register. The controller may indicate to the multitenancy controller that the data has been erased, and the multitenancy controller may enable the user to vacate from the memory system.
